You might call it “show-and-tell” for some local craft breweries and wineries. The industries are thriving in Western New York and some potential investors are taking notice.
The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, working with the Empire State Development Corporation, dispatched several representatives from the alcohol industry to the Buffalo-Niagara region this week as a part of its Drink Local Campaign. The initiative aims to cross-promote the craft alcohol industry statewide.
The group arrived in Buffalo on Tuesday for a three-day excursion that will include visits to 14 local breweries, wineries and distilleries.
Michael Brooks, owner of Bed-Vyne Wine and Spirits in Brooklyn, talked with WBFO about his initial reactions.Go here for the full story.
“Well I definitely am impressed with the wine growing region in Niagara County,” he said. “We went to Arrowhead Winery and the quality of wines they’re producing was really impressive. Especially, the body they were able to get from their Cabernet Sauvignons and their Syrahs, which is something I’ve never seen in New York State before. So that actually blew me away.”
